I had the 5th grade teacher from hell. I could write a book. She was pretty bad for everyone, but for some reason she didnât like me at all. I was probably a âknow it all,â but give me a break. My frontal lobe had not developed yet, so I didnât know how to graciously correct a teacher who pronounced âinfraredâ as âin-FRAYER-d,â or who thought Columbus landed in Florida.
Superior oblique muscle. The superior oblique muscle, or obliquus oculi superior, is a fusiform muscle originating in the upper, medial side of the orbit (i.e. from beside the nose) which abducts, depresses and internally rotates the eye. It is the only extraocular muscle innervated by the trochlear nerve (the fourth cranial nerve).
The superior colliculus refers to the rostral (front) bump on the lateral (side) part of the midbrain. It is, in fact, a pair of two colliculi, superior and inferior, on either side of the midbrain that together constitute the tectum.The superior colliculus is a layered, multi-sensory structure.Its upper layer receives visual signals from the retina of the eye, while the lower layers process multiple signals from various other parts of the brain. This colliculus is not restricted to a visual role alone.ovement of the eyes is also connected with the cells present in the lower layers of the colliculus. In mammals and other higher animals, the brain processes sensory inputs in correlation with the superior colliculus. In lower animals it helps to perceive any sudden movement that occurs before the retina.
